Winter Fairy

Winter Fairy

A new born breeze awakens my heart,

As it rolls through the air,

And begins to play with my hair.

So I wake with a start,

And look at this new world around me.

The sun just rises as I yawn,

And it glistens off the new snow

Upon which my feet plan to go.

In this early morning dawn,

I look around and see.

The trees glisten under the weight

Of last night’s snowfall

That piled the banks tall

Leaving them in a beautiful state.

I smile with glee.

The river rushes by,

For it does not like the sweet cold,

But the lakes stay to see what shall unfold.

My breath freezes up as I utter a sigh,

But the cold does not hinder me.

I walk among the pastures

To see what this winter will bring

And as I do, the wind begins to sing,

Causing the fresh snow to stir

Wild, untamed, beautiful, and free.

I thank the winter's gift to me

And continue to roam upon the snow,

Silently begging it to not go.

It is this wonderland that I love to see,

For I am the Winter Fairy.
